I heard this on Mark Levin's show tonight. Remind me never to help another old lady across the street. If she trips and breaks a leg I could wind up losing my house!
Here's to the death of doing the right thing!

You took the words and the cookies right out of my mouth.

I doubt these girls knocked at 10:30PM.
More like the woman was out of it when they knocked in the early evening, she had problems anyway and the next day had to go to the hospital.
She is more than likely broke, has no means to pay, and wanted to sue to get money.

MUST be a super-lib judge.
How in the world can these girls be held responsible for an old bats insanity?

Someone gives me cookies with paper hearts, I'm eating them... paper hearts and all.

Well, I wouldn't SUE anybody for such a thing, but I'd be alarmed, and then sore as hell, if someone came to my door at that hour, even if they were delivering a new Jaguar.
And people who don't understand why...are lucky, and that's all I'm saying on that score.

Boy if she thinks that was a teenage prank, I can't wait to what may happen to the old lady in the future. Never piss off neighborhood teenagers.

Actually, they weren't "fined," they were ordered to pay damages.
Of course, you can't expect a reporter to know the difference.

This lady, Wanita, should call a real estate agent and start packing her things. I think she is no longer welcome/wanted in the neighborhood, to put it mildly.

This is just stupid. Makes me want to go to that woman's house, and in the best Jack Handy manner I can muster, leave an evil looking carved jack-o-lantern on her porch, with a big butcher knife stuck in the pumpkin, with a note that simpy reads "YOU!"...

I'll admit that I would have been annoyed (and I wouldn't have eaten the cookies, either, but then I'm the highly suspicious sort).

La Plata County Court Judge Doug Walker, ... Judge Walker seems to have a serious mental problem. The people of La Plata County would be advised to have him examined for suitability for the office he holds.

In my neighborhood, the cookies would have had little paper UZIs and a note that reads "Inject cadaverine in my car trunk again, and you're a dead man..."
